About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Trial of Ultra-Hypofractionated Whole Breast Irradiation With Concomitant Lumpectomy Cavity Boost

This clinical trial tests how well ultra-hypofractionated (UF) whole breast irradiation (WBI) with lumpectomy cavity boost (CB) works in treating patients with stage I-III breast cancer. Breast conservation therapy (BCT) is the recommended treatment for patients with early stage breast cancer. BCT involves a lumpectomy followed by breast radiation. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Traditionally, WBI has been given once daily over 5-6 weeks and then those at high-risk for recurrence receive additional radiation (boost) to the lumpectomy cavity daily over 4-8 days. This has now been replaced by moderate hypofractionated radiation. Hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. Although moderate hypofractionated radiation therapy reduces the length of treatment from 6-7 weeks to 3-4 weeks, the length of treatment still remains a barrier for many patients. UF-WBI with CB delivers radiation to the whole breast and the surgical cavity at the same time over 5 daily treatments. Giving UF-WBI with CB may prevent recurrence and prolong survival as well as improve the quality of life in patients with stage I-III breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To evaluate the impact of UF-WBI + CB as assessed by patient-reported Global Cosmesis Score (GCS) at 1 year.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To characterize the patient-reported cosmetic appearance of the breast over time, as assessed by GCS.

II. To determine short- and long-term physician-reported cosmetic appearance of the breast, as assessed by GCS.

III. To evaluate the acute and late patient-reported radiation-associated toxicities.

IV. To evaluate the acute and late physician-reported radiation-associated toxicities.

  1. To estimate:

Va. 5-year in-breast recurrence; Vb. 5-year distant recurrence; Vc. 5-year disease-free survival (DFS); Vd. 5-year overall survival (OS).

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate patient-reported quality-of-life (QoL). II. To evaluate volumetric and dosimetric factors associated with acceptable breast cosmesis.

III. To evaluate volumetric and dosimetric factors associated with acute and late radiation-associated toxicities.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo UF-WBI with CB once daily (QD) on consecutive business days for up to 5 fractions in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) prior to each radiation treatment.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 month, 6 months, then annually for up to 5 years.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response rate (time frame: At 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Oct 2026.
